shift happens | personal growth, self-reflection, and stories that shift your perspective
life handed me stories i never expected… like discovering family secrets, surprise relatives, becoming a mom before i was ready, enough therapy to fill a book, and carrying grief that quietly shaped who i am. and if i learned one thing through it all, it’s this: change is inevitable, but growth is a choice.
stories matter. yours. mine. the messy, hidden, uncomfortable parts people don’t say out loud? i care about those. empathy, reflection, and honest conversations are my thing.
shift happens is your safe space for candid conversations and honest reflections that push you to own your story, face the hard truths, and keep moving forward (together).
because at the end of the day, the question isn’t “why did it happen”... it’s “what are you gonna do about it?”

in this episode i sit down with mickie murphy - the sole survivor of a devastating crash that left her hospitalized for five months and cost her part of her leg. but mickie didn’t let tragedy define her. instead, she leaned into faith, community, and mindset to not only heal but to rise stronger than ever.
we talk about how she returned to work weeks after rehab, found humor in the hardest moments (yes, even naming her prosthetic leg “betty”), and turned her pain into a purpose-driven journey toward public speaking. mickie shares what resilience really means, why change is easier when you embrace it, and how laughter and community can carry you through the darkest times.
this is a blueprint for choosing growth when life throws the unthinkable your way.
